Jeff Durbin’s Pink Tie, Trent Horn and the Word of God
James White, , Debate, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Had some enjoyable banter in response to Jeff Durbin’s live Facebook video from yesterday, and then we moved into considering some of the comments made by Trent Horn after his debate with Gavin Ortlund on sola scriptura. Some very interesting and important directions are being mapped out that are relevant for everyone interested not only in Roman Catholic apologetics, but

“White Nature,” the 1946 Lie, Jimmy Akin
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Three main topics today on a 75 minute edition of the Dividing Line: first, asking what Danny Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, means by “white nature” and where this concept comes from. Second, we look at the trailer for the 1946 movie that is being fund-raised for right now regarding the alleged “mistake” in translating arsenokoites at 1

Remind Me Sometime…
James White, , Roman Catholicism
Last night in class we went over Ignatius’ epistle to the Smyrnaeans. Someone remind me on a future edition of the DL to go over the first six sections in reference to the gross abuse of this material by Roman Catholic apologists (and those deceived by them). I could post the text here on the website, or a link to

The Convert Syndrome?
James White, , Roman Catholicism
I was directed to this report on a talk given by Frank Beckwith. I found the following line most interesting: Following his return, Beckwith’s faith was changed in more than name only. “I started reading the Bible much more,” he said. “I used to read the Bible looking for arguments. I now read and look for wisdom.” This does not

Francis’ Empty Hell, Brandan’s Empty Bible
James White, , Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity
Started off looking at Francis’ comment that he hopes hell is empty, and what this would mean to Roman Catholic theology as a whole. Then we transitioned over a Brandan Robertson video in which he shreds the Bible into contradictory strands, something that is all too common in what is called the “Christian academy.”

“Your Interpretation of” – a Common Objection Debunked
TurretinFan, , Roman Catholicism
The Called to Communion clique is fond of replacing “Scripture” with “your interpretation of Scripture.” This has the rhetorical effect of making the appeal to Scripture sound less authoritative. After all, “that’s just your interpretation” is idiomatic of something that has little value. It’s part of the culture of relativism, in which your interpretation is just as good as my

A Tribute to Rushbo, Prayer for James Coates, Augustine and Zosimus
James White, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Persecution, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Almost went two hours today (sorry!), but we went in depth in our response to Trent Horn on the subject of Augustine’s allegedly saying, “Rome has spoken, the case is closed.” That took up the vast majority of our time (including looking at the “I would not believe the gospel except for the testimony of the Catholic Church” quote), but

James White, , Roman Catholicism
One of my favorite sound clips in our chat channel is from the popular TV show, “Frasier.” In his own inimitable fashion, Dr. Crane asks, “Tell me…what color is the sky in your world?” Such a quip indicates that the person to whom you are addressing those words seems to live…elsewhere, disconnected from reality, in a fantasy world.
